C  G  Am  F

C                     G
Well, I was sittin' at a bar in a corner booth
          Am                       F
Lookin' at the crowd, and I was thinkin' 'bout you
C                     G
And I could hear the jukebox playin' our song
          Am                   F
But I was sittin' there alone, just tryin' to get along

C                     G
And I could see the light from the neon sign
          Am                      F
Shinin' on my face, but it don't feel like home
C                     G
And if I could just forget what we had
          Am                       F
I'd be alright, but I keep thinkin' 'bout the past

C                     G
With my nose on the grindstone
          Am                       F
And my back against the wall
C                     G
I keep on workin' hard
          Am                       F
Just to keep from feelin' small

C                     G
And I know that I can't forget
          Am                       F
But I'll keep on tryin' every day
C                     G
With my nose on the grindstone
          Am                       F
I'll keep the pain at bay
